UI/UX design in Milan

For stores selling into Milan, the interface is doing one job that the design brief rarely names: fashion and beauty brands working with creators. Until that is handled, improvements elsewhere on the page are being made around an unanswered question. We build for Milan businesses remotely, and we hold no office there.

A drawing of a design system for a Milan store being measured: type sizes, colour tokens, component states and a contrast reading above the WCAG 2.2 AA threshold.

The subjectui-ux-design × milan

Fashion and beauty brands working with creators

The answer belongs on the page rather than behind a link.

A customer who has to leave to find out whether something applies to them frequently does not come back, and the link was cheaper to add than the sentence but costs considerably more. In Milan that pattern shows up most in media and advertising, and around Navigli in particular. The businesses there sell in a way that makes this requirement structural rather than a preference somebody could be talked out of. Accessibility comes with it rather than after it. Contrast, focus, labelling and heading order are decided while the page is being designed, and retrofitting any of them means revisiting the same decisions with less freedom and more cost. The whole interface hangs off that one point. fashion and beauty brands working with creators is what a Milan visitor came to establish, and a page that buries it under everything else has answered several questions nobody was asking while leaving the only one that mattered completely open.

We have no office in Milan. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

What a UI/UX design project includes

Three things, and they are the same wherever you are. What changes is the subject above.

  • UX audit against a published checklist

  • Redesign of the highest-revenue templates

  • Design system and tokens, where they earn their cost

The other three, and what each one covers

Each answers a different question for Milan businesses. None of them repeats this page.

UI/UX design questions from Milan

Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.

Do you work with our developers?

Regularly, and the handover is the part worth planning. Designs that specify states, edge cases and behaviour on a narrow screen get built correctly; designs that show one perfect screen get interpreted, and the interpretation is where the intent gets lost. That is true of Milan work too.

Do you produce designs or build them?

Both, and they work better together. A design handed over without the build frequently arrives on the site as an approximation, and the details that were the point — spacing, states, focus, what happens on a narrow screen — are the ones that get lost in translation. That holds for Milan work as much as for anywhere we deliver.

Will this work for our existing Milan customers?

That is the right question, and it is why we look at what current customers do before changing anything. A redesign that improves things for new visitors and disrupts the people already buying is a net loss, and it is a common outcome when the existing behaviour was never examined. The same goes for Milan.
